Hi harish17,

For getting the Process Id you need to use the 'Read Memory Stats' action of the 'Utility Environment' VBO.
You can take a look at it here.

Regarding the multiple instances you are seeing in the task manager you can read about it in post #2 and #3 here.

And since you are working with window title, process Ids and IE you might as well want to take a look at post #4 here.
